THE BEST PEACH COBBLER
In our classic southern-style peach cobbler, we layer the fruit on top of the batter before baking. In the oven, the sweet batter rises through the peaches, creating a light and airy cake-like topping. We left the peaches unpeeled, which adds a nice color and makes the recipe even easier. Serve it with vanilla ice cream for the perfect summer dessert.

Steps:
- For the filling: Put the peaches, sugar, cinnamon, salt and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the peach juices begin to boil. Lower to a simmer and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- For the batter: Put the butter in a 2-quart baking dish and place it in the oven while it preheats. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the vanilla into the milk in a liquid measuring cup. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking until well combined.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the batter in an even layer over the melted butter. Spoon the peaches along with their juices evenly over the top of the batter. Bake until the cobbler is golden brown on top and the peach juices are bubbling, 35 to 45 minutes.
- Let cool to room temperature before serving.

NOT-SO-CLASSIC PEACH MELBA
A classic peach Melba is a dessert of poached peach halves and raspberry sauce with vanilla ice cream, invented by the French chef Auguste Escoffier, and named after the Australian soprano Nellie Melba. This not-so-classic version calls for sliced ripe peaches instead of cooked peach halves. Look for the best vanilla ice cream, with real vanilla, or make your own. Easy to assemble, it's a lovely, refreshing and elegant dessert, perfect for when peaches and raspberries are in season.

Steps:
- Make the raspberry sauce: Put 1 cup raspberries and 2 tablespoons sugar in a blender and whiz to liquify. Pour through a fine-meshed strainer and into a medium bowl. Keep cool.
- Using a paring knife, peel and halve the peaches. Slice the halves into half-moon pieces about 3/8-inch thick. Transfer to a bowl. Add 2 teaspoons sugar and a few drops of lemon juice to taste. Toss to coat.
- To serve, arrange peach slices in the bottom of 6 dessert bowls. Top each serving with a scoop or 2 of vanilla ice cream. Splash raspberry sauce over each portion. Garnish with a few raspberries if you wish.
Tips:
- Use ripe peaches. Ripe peaches are sweeter and have a more intense flavor than unripe peaches. You can tell if a peach is ripe by its color (it should be a deep yellow or orange), its texture (it should be slightly soft when you press on it), and its smell (it should have a sweet, fruity aroma).
- Peel the peaches before using them. The skin of a peach is tough and can be difficult to chew. Peeling the peaches before using them will make your cobbler more enjoyable to eat.
- Use a variety of spices. The spices in a peach melba cobbler help to enhance the flavor of the peaches. Common spices used in peach melba cobbler include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Don't overcook the cobbler. A peach melba cobbler should be cooked until the peaches are soft and the topping is golden brown. Overcooking the cobbler will make the peaches mushy and the topping dry.
Conclusion:
Peach melba cobbler is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and juicy peaches, crispy topping, and creamy vanilla ice cream, peach melba cobbler is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to serve, give peach melba cobbler a try. You won't be disappointed!
